Try taking melatonin when you wake up too early (0.3 mg, from NootropicsDepot). Taken in the morning it pushes your wakeup time later. Won't make you fall asleep, but in a few days it shoulx be noticeable.

I'm managing the same insomnia with very low dose of mirtazepine (1mg per evening) and the occasional ambien when I wake up.



How does taking melatonin in the morning help?


Small doses of melatonin shift your sleep cycle. In the morning if you want to delay your cycle, and in the evening if you want to advance it.

People use larger doses of melatonin as a hypnotic to make them fall asleep right away, but that's not the only use.
